Our Graduate Anthropology Association here at UWF came up with an awesome idea for a fall fundraiser: a "hot hominins" calendar. Led mostly by Jane Holmstrom and Tarra Wixom, the calendar was created using open-access images of reconstructed hominins... plus clever and funny sayings. It's a spin on a traditional "pin-up" calendar for those of us who geek out on anthropology.

All proceeds from calendar sales go to the GAA, which disburses the funds to graduate students who are attending professional conferences to present work and network in the field.

If you're in need of a 2016 calendar and want to help out our students, please click through to check it out. You can even preview each calendar page so you can see if your favorite species is there. Some sample images are below.

Bones ReviewsBones reviews are now over at Forbes, thanks to the support of my editor. The first couple got great traffic, particularly when the show's creator, showrunner, actors, and even Kathy Reichs herself tweeted my review of the première. But not as many people are reading the rest. We'll see if it picks up over the course of the season.
